Answer:
x = -16/5 or
x = 6/5
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]-\left|5+5x\right|-9=-20\\\\\mathrm{Add\:}9\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}\\-\left|5+5x\right|-9+9=-20+9\\\\Simplify\\-\left|5+5x\right|=-11\\\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-1\\\\\frac{-\left|5+5x\right|}{-1}=\frac{-11}{-1}\\\\\left|5+5x\right|=11\\\\\mathrm{Apply\:absolute\:rule}:\\\\\mathrm{If}\:|u|\:=\:a,\:a>0\:\mathrm{then}\:u\:=\:a\:\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:u\:=\:-a\\5+5x=-11\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:5+5x=11\\\\5+5x=-11\quad :\quad x=-\frac{16}{5}\\\\5+5x=11\quad :\quad x=\frac{6}{5}\\[/tex]
[tex]x=-\frac{16}{5}\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:x=\frac{6}{5}\\[/tex]
